What's your number that's acceptable to have things "back to normal"? Apparently more information is bad. Is that along the lines of the US has the most cases because we test the most and if we don't test than we'll have less cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If testing identifies positive cases, and positive cases are quarantined, shouldn’t testing lower both overall hospitalizations and deaths?

If my daughter tested negative 3 weeks ago before starting classes at UND this Tuesday is she currently still negative if she is asymptomatic? ....and BTW the needle on tuition doesn't move as she has most classes from her laptop.

Absolutely, which was the entire "flatten the curve" narrative which the nation effectively did. That doesn't reduce the total impact, it just spreads it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those who tested positive now are armed with the information that they shouldn't be partying or visiting grandma for a bit. Knowledge of being positive isn't a bad thing. Should the media be blowing it out of proportion when a bunch of asymptomatic or lightly symptomatic kids show up positive? No. The community is safer now that those kids are aware of it. Information isn't a bad thing. How those in power use or react to that information is where it gets muddy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what recently happened in the NFL. False positives absolutely are happening and that is leading to completely unnecessary measures being taken, which includes the closure of schools in my son's district. Completely unnecessary and is going to have a real cost associated with it in these kid' education. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flattening the curve simply spreads out the cases to make sure that anyone who has medical issues with Covid can have the best possible medical care. In theory that would reduce the deaths, but in no way reduces the total that contract the virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flu season is right around the corner, at our current rate do you think we have the hospital capacity to care for Covid and the flu? Do we not have a reason to be concerned with actual covid deaths? Or is 180,000 deaths and rising acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t actually think the nfl finding out all of their positives were false positives were isolated incidents do you? They were only found out because they were able to retest, no everybody has that capability. This thing is far more widespread already and the testing has been shown to be unreliable, so what the hell are we doing making life-changing decisions on faulty information? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
